I've looked thru the archives and found some good material....just wanting to bounce things off the list for either correction, clarification or whatever
   
  I have some 128x64 graphics LCD modules that use a Samsung KS0713 controller.  The interface is simple, either serial or parallel so thats all good.
   
  Now, as most graphic controllers seem to do, they divide up the Y space in pages so in this case its 8 pages, of 8 bits. So you select the page, and then the column address for that one pixel to write.  The column address incrments automatically.  If for instance you wanted to draw a line a single pixel wide, you could simply have a loop of 127 sending a 1 to the controller.  
   
  OK, so what about just sending a character....say....A.  I suppose thats what the graphics libraries such as ramtec supplies, in that you say send an A and it sends out the page, and then the column address to 'turn on' the pixels.  So each 'character' is a subroutine thats called?  Or is there a easier method....or has someone else done this before, maybe not for this controller but another one.  I think Scott D was doing something with font experiments but I don't recall what controller or resolution he was using.  I was thinking for a graphic module interface you would end up needing alot of RAM not flash to do this?

Oh, and doing this in assembly.  Right now this isnt a real project but something they are thinking about but I figured I ought to at least get a leg up on how this all works.
